A recent customer says Devon's input changed the layout and location of their new pool, and that the build came in ahead of schedule. A recent customer says the company ripped out an old vinyl pool and built a new gunite one in its place, with Devon personally involved throughout, and is staying on for regular service. A recent customer says Kat and the LCP service team are responsive in planning service. A 2026 customer said Devon oversaw their new pool install in person and that it finished a month earlier than expected. A 2025 customer said openings, closings and weekly maintenance were handled after the install, and that the team alerted them about weather that could affect the pool. A 2023 customer said Devon was there every day of the roughly 8-week build, which was on time and on budget. A 2022 customer said Devon and his team worked with their landscaper through zoning and customization challenges.
